  • THere is no 3 & knuckles that sucks they dont give you the full game of sonic 3 im under 25 and i love retro game consoles

  • I think most gamers under 25 would appreciate the alternative these games provide from what is the norm for today.

  • what is best? Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection or Sega's Ultimate Mega Drive Collection

  • @spiersaz

    It depends where are you from or which name you prefer, like both names I can say they are both AMAZING names, both 1 thing I like about the US box art and 1 thing I like about PAL region, What I like about US version box art Picture of Sonic on it what least like that it blocks half the picture of a SEGA Games, and what I like about PAL version it shows most of the Sega games on the box art, bad part it looks plain. what do think your opinion?

  • a lot people under 25 were around in the late 90's when the megadrive was still big

  • Only just found out about this by seeing a friend playing it on the Xbox.

    I already own Altered Best on Steam, the Wii & Xbox360 because it’s always been a favourite of mine; I mean the game has pink unicorn men lol. But I’m definitely gonna pick this one up.

    Also, I’m 20, I was a N64 & PS1 kid but I still love many of these old games.

  • Man i'm 14 and i only play Snes and Genesis bitch!

  • you're better off getting an emulator on android.

  • can you play some of the games online? like golden axe

  • ORLY? im 13 and actually enjoy these games :3

  • The mega drive was released in 1988 and discontinued in 1995 -1997, so if you were born after say, 1990, you cant get a proper nostalgia feeling from playing these games.

    I am 20 something, I played a few atari games in the early 90's(way after the release), even at that time I felt the games were old. If I were to play one of those atari games now I would not consider that to be a proper nostalgia feeling.

    It's quite sad to hear people had the MegaDrive as their first console in the 2000's.

  • I am 25 and I think the age distinction is based on when these games were released and not necessarily played. If you were a young kid who played these games they will always play a nostalgic part of your life whether you're 50 or 15.

  • I'm 16 and I would happily rate this collection a 9/10. Some of these games are better than most games nowadays... =)

  • ya the 25 comment was crazy.older games arnt as good as you remember them!!! wtf older games are the best i always get these compilations just to play the older games i havnt played yet.they rock compared to newer games!

  • 6 out of 10?

  • in HD ?no thanks only the original mega drive console

  • Under 25? I'm 19 and the mega drive was the first console i ever owned.

  • im only 12 and i remember my brother and me playin them

  • lol

    

  • i dont care how old anyone is .

    you better like retro consoles . or you suck

  • @ImmortalUniverse found this for £10 thats a barging 

  • its funny how this dude is talking like he acttualy played the games he just reading a CueCard

  • Comment removed

  • Seriously!! UNDER 25. I'm 13 and play classic gaming consoles all the time. But you saying that is just fucking insulting. I LOVE THE RETRO CONSOLES BASTARD. UNDER 25 MY ASS!

  • @mariogamersidequest finally someone like me :D

  • your voice is so fuckin annoying. I would rather shit in my own mouth than listen to you talk for 3 minutes

  • What a bad review. And just look how (rightfully) annoyed many younger gamers get by it. What a ridiculous statement that younger players should stay away from these games. I'm 29 and I totally disagree with that. I think it's great to see 15 year olds still appreciate the consoles of the 80s and 90s.

  • Im lookin for a old game, maybe sega mega or playstation 2, U was a human soldier with a sword, you had a castle in the backround, u could become a dragon/bird and fly... U had red hearts in the upper right corner, 1-2-3-4-5-6 i think? Could be half red hearts to if u lost alitle health.. Please help me find this old amazing game!!! PLEASE

  • when he goes on about under 25s dont bother i think he means only buy it for the nostalga value of it of a time when games were simple and consoles were really beginning to become really popular.Young kids will enjoy this mine have these games and the play em but they dont remember them like i did when i was 11 when mega drive first came out.

  • I'm 17. I grew up with a Super Nintendo. I actually PREFER older games to newer ones, and it's not to do with nolgastia. I'm proud for owning this on Xbox 360.

  • "Not a Sonic fan"??? Mate that's weird lol. Should've been your childhood memory.

  • Im 19 and these games were the shit...

    and are still :D

  • Again, I'm fourteen, and i'm a SMS away from a full sega console collection, with my (second gen, currently first gen) genesis/mega drive being my first console. If anything, I'm glad my cousin gave me their genesis, I wouldn't be the same without it.

  • im 13 and i own a snes and a megadrive. this game was great, even though it didnt have castlevania bloodlines on it.

  • under 25 stay away. i remember these games and i'm 12 lol.

  • where the fuck was Flashback; Quest for Identity ???

  • RISTAR is da bomb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • dude im 15 and i never played the classics yet i love em.

  • If you are 15 now, and you had a MegaDrive/Genesis when you were 6 years old, you were playing a console that's twice your age(12 year old Console, for those that don't know maths yet).

    They stopped selling them new in the Mid 90's.

    It sucks your parents could only afford OLD second hand shit for you.

    At that point the PS2 had been out for 2 years, they could have bought one of those second hand!

    Thats like me buying my kids a psone right now. I couldn't be that goddamn cheap.

  • @Narcronics i was 5 and i had 1

  • @Narcronics umm.. My dad bought a Mega Drive before I was born. And he didnt bother to get another console. So I had to purchase one on my own. And i really didnt bother to do taht either. So my parents werent cheap. It was just me managing to have fun with an old console

  • @Narcronics You are a fucking moron.

  • @Moothead2

    It sucks your parents could only afford OLD second hand shit for you.

  • @Narcronics You really are a moron, aren't you. Are you one of the "DA GRAFIX R SHIT SO DA GAME IS SOOO SHIT!!1!!!" people too?

  • this guy''s a fag man, first of who doesn't like the classic sonic also I'm 16 and still love playing my sega and snes over my ps3 and wii

  • how can u not like sonic and plus under 25 i rememmber most of thes

  • how can u not like sonic

  • im 12 and i had a mega drive when i was little and i still profure there games than i do the new ones

  • lol dumb reviewer no life i was 7 when i played my first sonic was up late and got fucking piss off when i losed that 3 lives on sonic the hedgohg XD

  • I'm 12 and I'm in love with Sega classics =D

  • @bawzofgray isnt it obvious either cheapo parents or parents console and just couldnt be bothered buying the latest thing

  • SONIC, REVENGE OF SHINOBI, STREETS OF RAGE FTWWW

  • im 13 and i have all the old consoles even amiga :3 and i love them, but i dont blame you, all kids in britain nowadays are retardedand like ps3 and hate ps1, well, fuck em, i love old games >:(

  • the reviewer is a moron,nuff said!

  • @MarcusDrivesZxr no he isnt.

  • @KangaroosReviews meh, both opionions, your entitled to yours but mine looks like the majority

  • @MarcusDrivesZxr i guess

  • well i'm 14 and i liked these games.

  • I'm 13 and I fucking love Atari. Yeah, that's right.

  • 1. You don't need to be 25

    2. Simple? Man these games are a shit load harder than the patheitc games now days

  • Im buying this just for alex the kid... dont tell me if your under 25 dont buy it because everyone knows about sonic lol retarded commentary

  • wtf most peopleof around 16 had a megadrive or a snes as their first console

  • An okay review, up until the closing comments. These games are enjoyable only for the nostalgic value? How ridiculous. Sonic and Ristar are still incredible platformers that can compete with games by todays standards. Just because the games are old doesnt stop them from being enjoyable.

    I guess he also thinks you shouldnt bother with classics like Final Fantasy 7 and Super Mario World. Discouraging gamers from dipping into the past is a poor message.

  • @XshurikenXboy hes a bit of a doucher tbh

  • More simple and immediate? Not as good as people remember them? Best playing the games of today?

    LOL! Most rubbish review, ever. This collection has some of the best games ever created.

  • im 19 and i played and pass shinobi III (Realy good game) sonic saga (Unique) golden axe (Played with mi brotherhe is 25) etc, and i will play them again -Respect The Classics!-

  • I'm 19 Years Old & I want to buy it for PS3! :)

    The Reviewer doesn't Respect The Classics! >:(

    HAIL SEGA MEGA DRIVE! XD

  • under 25 then leave it alone? piss off i mgight be 15 but i completed streets of rage when i was 6

  • I'm 20 and this was a trip down memory land for me i love it

  • Ok I'll check that out sometime and thanks for giveing me something else to look at.

    Isn't this the same chap as the one who not only does cheats discs but also Gamers Bitesize?

  • i didn't need to buy it. I borrowed the game and within 2 days I got all the trophies. Probably because I owned most of the games on the actually console

  • 6/10????? NO!!!!!!!!!! 9/10!!!

  • Simple? My arse! Im back off to IGN ...

  • Comment removed

  • 40 games not good for you go kill your self you silly basterd.

  • I'm 20 and I also remember these games from my childhood and loved them. I would've given this collection a higher score like 8/10 because it does what it's meant to do. Only thing is I feel some games are missing, like I remember Home Alone on the Sega lol was good.

  • dude im 15 and I still remember the genesis(USA) plus this was the only system i had until we got an N64. I still play sega games on their original console today

  • im 15 and i own this collection on ps3 and i love it !!!

  • Not a sonic fan you say?

  • Under 25!!??

    Dude, I'm 21 and not only is mega drive a part of my childhood but the NES is as well. This also goes for younger gamers I know!

    Still play 'em both today even.

  • im 14 and i think the genesis and the 16 bit era were some of the best games ever.

  • @dchim2  me too :-)

  • This dick implies that every old game is no good just because it's not like the ones that been released now! I honastly can't believe that some fool employed such a pleb to do video game reviews!

  • stay away if your under 25??? im 21 and started gaming in 1994. I remember most of these games and really really loved them all back in the day. I loved the sega consoles until sony killed the dreamcast :(

  • @Crashandburn999 Kinda the same, I'm 24. Sonic was my absolute childhood hero.

  • wtf under 25 stay away? ummm no im under 25 but i never played these games before i got it for ps3 and i like it

  • lol wth im 13 years old and i still remember all those games!!! DUDE??? golden axe FTW and beast master

  • what a prick this guy is....im 19 and i remember all these games...and i love the way he says that "they are not as good as people remember them" and that if you didnt play them first time around don't bother...well tbh i dont really care much for that point of view...if it wasn't for retro games...classics such as sonic and golden axe...there would be no video game industry today..full stop!!

  • lol review worst ever

  • I remember all of these...I wish they did one with like the orgional spyro...ratchet and clank...crash bandicoot just to name a few that would be awsomeee

  • Not as good as they used to be? If you ask me the original 4 Sonics are still some of the most playable games available, even today!

  • Who the hell doesn't like Sonic seriuosly

  • the easyiest game 4 trophies

  • wtf? the reviewer doesnt even like Sonic.. I rate the REVIEWER himself a 6/10..

  • Can any1 tell if on any of these Sega genesis ultimate whatever colections they put in "The Story of Thor" or "Oasis" whatever the name was in the USA i played it in Romania(EU) and it was caled The story of Thor on the MD ive seen it on the cover but ppl tell me it's not in the CD neether on the FailBox vers or the Ps3 ps2 Cd ....why da fk did they put it on the cover for!?!!??! >8z WTF!!!

  • The best is magadrive sega sonic hedgehog:)

  • I get the point about younger gamers shouldn't feel they have to play older games (after all they don't get the hit of nostalgia we do) but the 25 yrs cut-off is a wee bit high. nice review

  • "if you are under 25 stay away" wtf dude?

    i am 16 and i remember all these games from my childhood and i love them all, especially streets of rage, it is still my favourite game of all time

  • Same here!

  • @guitardood666 You're still a child lol but good point well made

  • @guitardood666 I've heard this reviewer before and I like his style. But he got that dead wrong. These games are classical and timeless.

    The newer generation games date badly because of their complexity. Who wants to go back to playing GTAs without GPS and taxi service so you don't have to do the tedious driving?

  • this sucks 6 of 10 sucks its 10 of 10

  • Put Sonics Ultimate Genesis Collection in the description.

  • so the reviewer hadn't play golden axe sequels....never been a sonic fan....sorry to say but what kind of gamer reviewer is that???? seems to me he didn't know what a sega megadrive was before this release.....

    go find another job moron with your british stupid accent.

  • WTF is a british accent?

  • Better off with the games of today!? They just dont make games like this anymore...

    The reviewer really missed out on what made these games so great and (as he seems to point out himself a couple of times) was probably never that much of a games fan back then.

  • I'm 13 years old and I grew up with the Mega Drive. I will without a doubt buy this, and I think the reviewer is unfair on younger gamers.

  • Hey does anyone know if there's a SNES equivelent to this? Super Nintendo ultimate collection or anything along those lines?

  • @nothinisavailable

    There is but not official version, fan made on PS2, I have copy every Super Nintendo games on 1 disc.

  • Okay What Kind Of Nintendo Fanboy Would Thumb Down My Comment?

  • @Phoenix1251 youre sad u mate

  • You're The One Who's Sad You're A Fanboy.

  • @Phoenix1251 ooooookay then weirdo

  • You're The Real Weirdo You Noob.

  • just use the fusion emulator on pc

  • @OCEL0T525 I do To But This Allows Me To play my games on Hd Tv But Idk...I love Emulators <3

  • ima get this jus for a laugh an for memories... i remember playing alot of these on my bros sega as a kid.

  • I think so...

  • wait so Sonics Ultimate Collection is the same thing right?

  • Gameweasel, More Like NOOBWEASEL!

    Sonic The Hedgehog Is One Of The Best Gaming Franchises Next To Mario & There Can't Be A SINGLE Possibility Of Anyone Hating Him! And Why In The World Do You Need To Be 25 To Remember Genesis Just To Play This Game? So What If They're Under 25, Sega Genesis Was Still A Relic Of Their Childhood.

    Thus, You Too Freaking Idiotic To Be Reviewing Games. Go Back To Britain Where You Belong.

  • agreed! I'M ONLY 19y old, and i still temember the sega mega drive i got for my 6th birthday on wich i used to spend countless hours playing sutch classics as contra hard corps, all of the sonics,comix zone and dune 2...

  • i would,nt pay 17 pounds for this.

    got all this for free on the net and it,s called a emultor

  • so you would rather play this on a dinky laptop or modem in ur room or something, or would you rather play this in the living room on a big screen tv at a party with a bunch of ur friends?

  • HI. In the Sega genesis Ultimate collection I can't unlock Golden Axe Warrior though I've used magic over ten times and even have the gold trophy for doing that. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Can someone tell me what I have to do? thanks

  • yer I'm 16, I grew up on the mega drive and psx, rock n roll racing and cyborg justice was the shit :)

  • yeah... rock'n'roll racing is one of the best fucking games sega had :D at least the best racing game.... well... blizzard was kicking ass even at those times xD

  • Under 25? I'm 21 and owned almost all of these games when I was little. In any case, I wouldn't mind having them again for a next gen console. The old cartridges take up a lot of room.

    Good item to review.

  • streets of rage series and the golden axe game are the best

  • missing soem of my favorites but its still pretty good

  • anybody know if alisha dragon is on there?it was 1 of my fave games on mega drive & im pretty sure it was by sega.that would swing me towards buying if that amongst the 40 titles

  • @PsychoPrisoner you-idiot...

  • He give it 6/10 wtf?

  • does the sonic UMDC and the Sonic UGC share the same achievement cuz i know they r both the same game with a different name but i wonder if they have seperate achievement lists?

  • they do have seperate achievement lists, they are recognised as different games (despite them obviously having no difference at all)

  • never liked sonic!! , what a dick lol

  • @cometomyfrontdoor No, i'd say your a dick for saying people that don't like Sonic are dicks!

    Now go suck yourself off faggot!

    Like it or not, it's his choice, who are you? the leader of north korea or china where people can't have an opinion?

  • @NeonGenesisPlatinum HAH! contradiction much!

  • @cometomyfrontdoor And what's the problem of him saying that?

  • Good point about reminding older gamers of games from back then as I am one of them. So because of that, I agree with what was said partially.

  • The game is only 15 quid from amazon you cheap weasely fucker just be glad u get to play these classics again after years

  • Can we have a review from someone who isn't a hater?

  • I bought this from ebay :)

  • Whats going on with this border thing?

    Don't the games take up the whole screen??

  • They dont by default but you can stretch the screen to make it fit but it makes the quality a bit worse.

  • Comment removed

  • on ps3 they can.. dont no if they can on xbox 360

  • Show some respect for the golden age games games of today are also good but they are more like watching a movie these old school games are pure fun, addictiveness, and have something new games only can dream of ! do i need to say i hate you for this review ?

  • i think earthworm jim 2 shud be in there

  • Earthworm Jim was a 3rd party title, made for the sega but not by sega, all games in this comp were Sega made games.

  • wah??

  • i'm giving this collection 9/10.

  • Fire THAT motherfucking commentator !!! sonic iz the best. 6/10 my ass.

  • I'm 17 and i remember all of these games as i grew up with them too :P Good games actually!

  • Why the hell does this awesome collection get a 6/10???Atleast 8 or a 9 would have been nice.

  • @PHILRYABKIN

    it got 9/10 on ign.com, I don't know why rate it low. :(

  • I played sonic for too long, and it caused me to grow a mangina.

  • you shouldn't doing reviews . Those are the best 2d games ever , how can you give 6/10 ?

  • a have to say, i hate this reviewer, he sucks

  • who the f*ck does'nt like sonic

  • retarded people and dumb nintendo fans

  • under 25s don't buy this? fuck you.. the games are still sick you patronizing fuck.. nice speech impediment by the way...

  • whats the game at 00:53

  • Blah,half hearted review, 6/10? Are you mad? And under 25 to stay away? You sure you should be doing reviews?

  • Under 25?! Im 15 and i remeber playin these games :)

  • Playing Sega ultimate collection without playing Sonic is blasphemy.

  • Sonic and knuckles will kick ass!

  • Ahh good times! I remember everyday after school I went back to my mates to go on his mega drive lol

  • I'm under twenty and never played these games before. I think I'm trying it out, no I am not leaving it alone.

  • lol why do you to be 25 to remember them? I'm 20 and i remember when i got my mega drive.... so, whats your point?

  • I got mad when the guy said if you are under 25 you should leave this game well alone. Why the hell would we do that? Im 16 and i have played pretty much all of these games back in the day!

  • 0:54 Good old memories! Any1 know the title of that game? I was like six years old when I Played it for the last time.
